This is jarring because we can see the physical manifestation of the damage TFG has done. Sadly, he’s done this level of damage (or worse) to all our sacred institutions and principles.

Mike Johnson is an exemplar of the religious-right figure who postures as a champion of Truth while demonstrating that truth actually means nothing to him

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Trump is demanding his own administration give him $230 million.

He's cutting himself a taxpayer-funded check, and paying for it by cutting your healthcare and food assistance.

This is what corruption under authoritarianism looks like.

Did he even pay that money? I’m sure his PAC money paid for it.

Always the grifter.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

He’s doing his best to make us like one of his failed ventures.

A tweet from Jessica Riedl reads: “That it took the White House 9 months to figure this out is economic malpractice.” Below it, a tweet from Unusual Whales says: “BREAKING: The US is rolling back tariffs on ‘products that cannot be grown, mined, or naturally produced in the United States,’ per WSJ.”

52 new projects — including the next Jumanji movie, Michael Mann's followup to Heat, and the next film by the directors of Everything Everywhere All At Once — just received the latest round of California Film & TV Tax Credits.

It means $1.4B for our economy and thousands of new jobs.

Trump's FTC just deleted articles by former Chair Lina Khan about the dangers of AI.

Meanwhile, Trump is fast-tracking data center permits after Big Tech gave huge donations to his inauguration.

AI is making the richest Americans even richer while everyone else pays the price.

Donald Trump never cared about the American farmers. After he got their vote he is screwing them over.
